    A few years ago, I traveled to Norway and became captivated by nature, and I wanted many others to have similar experiences. After that, I joined a travel company based in Norway and have been passionately working to ensure many people enjoy it.

    The Nordic region is blessed with awe-inspiring landscapes everywhere, whether in cities or villages, allowing you to connect with such nature.
    Travel is one of the best ways to experience unique moments in life. That's why we,
    love connecting travelers with locals. My goal is to provide experiences that exceed expectations, with unforgettable accommodations and engaging activities that allow you to fully enjoy the area, adding value to everything. I am here to help you experience the beauty and magnificence of the Nordic region.

    Let's create lifelong memories!

What kind of country is Sweden?

Sweden is a Nordic country located in the central and eastern part of the Scandinavian Peninsula, with a land area slightly larger than Japan and a population similar to that of Tokyo's 23 wards.

It is a country where you can glimpse rich nature and traces of human habitation since prehistoric times. In the southern part of this long north-south country, there is the capital Stockholm, one of the largest cities in the Nordics, the city of Gothenburg with orange roofs reminiscent of Amsterdam, and the city of Malmö connected by a bridge to Denmark. From Stockholm, you can take day trips to suburban World Heritage sites. The northern part belongs to the area known as Lapland in the Arctic Circle, with Kiruna, known as a beautiful aurora observation site in winter, and the church village of Gammelstad, a World Heritage site still used for pilgrimages. Sweden, which has lived amidst the beauty and harshness of nature, also has multiple industrial cultural heritage sites and various attractions.

I want to know the Nordic region I admire! I want to visit the Nordics!

By consulting with the professionals at Oooh, you can turn your vague travel ideas into reality and enjoy a unique trip just for you.

Cash, cards and currency exchange
・The currency unit of Sweden is the Swedish Krona (svensk krona), abbreviated as "SEK." The subunit is the öre, with 100 öre equaling 1 krona.
・Exchanging cash at local airports or banks is recommended in terms of fees, but cashless transactions are becoming more common, so cash is rarely needed.
・VISA and Mastercard can be used almost everywhere. However, American Express and JTB may not be accepted in some places.
Tips
・Service charges are included in hotel and restaurant bills, so tipping is generally not necessary.
・If the service was good, a tip of about 10% is appreciated.
Public Safety
・Sweden is generally considered safe, but serious crimes such as gang conflicts, explosives, and murders occur more frequently than in Japan.
・Therefore, do not let your guard down and remain vigilant against crime.
Clothing
・Due to the country's north-south expanse, the seasons vary by region.
・It is recommended to check the weather of the area you will be staying in before departure and visit with clothing that allows for easy temperature adjustment.
・Thanks to the Gulf Stream, it is relatively mild for its latitude, but winters are still harsh. If visiting in winter for activities like aurora viewing, be sure to take adequate cold-weather precautions.
Things you should bring with you
Multi-plug, regular medication, mobile battery, travel insurance, warm clothing
Visa availability and arrangements
For Japanese nationals traveling for purposes such as tourism or business trips without income, a visa is not required for stays of up to 90 days.
However, it is a condition that you have a passport that is valid for more than three months from the planned departure date and was issued within the last ten years.
